Helpful Ideas for Your Journey to True Diversity & Inclusion Globally, organizations are committing to Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) at higher rates than ever, with 87% of respondents indicating that D&I is a stated value or priority for their organization. However, for many organisations, the commitment does not extend past a statement in their annual report and allowing diversity groups the time and space to meet. Many business leaders surveyed still acknowledge that being a member of a Minority group is a barrier to employee progression. While there is solid research year on year to show that greater diversity and inclusion leads to improved business performance, many companies are still catching up. In this session, we will acknowledge the difference between Diversity and Inclusion at work and explore what leading companies are doing to enhance both. We will also acknowledge the continuing role of unconscious bias and explore strategies for minimising its impact. What good D&I looks like What one thing makes the most difference in getting a D&I strategy embedded in the culture 5 additional examples of the most successful D&I strategies What you can do to improve your organisation's D&I environment no matter your role

The Effect of Project Budgeting on Agile Transformations We've all participated in annual budget planning sessions that take weeks to complete, only to find the funding has been cut in half. We've also had to wait for months while decisions are delayed, causing us to delay work and hiring, but the deadlines don't move! And through all this, how do we keep our teams busy and continuously delivering valuable product? This session will discuss challenges with traditional project funding models, present the foundational elements needed for a successful Agile transformation, and discuss how to coach an organization through the transition.
